Explaining to my kid that St*phen M!ller’s Vanity Fair portrait was not the best of the bunch — “his isn’t so bad” — and was designed to make him look like Goebbels was not on my 2025 bingo card. This is why art is important.

Have you tried to get a 10-year-old to pack for a two week trip or would you prefer to get a root canal because I can tell you where I’m landing.

Me: “I have a story.” My daughter, sarcastically: “Bless us with your stories.” Me: 😑

A food item came out slightly off of what my daughter wanted. Me: “Maybe you’ll discover you love it.” *tries it* Her: “I did not discover that….Not at all.”

Freeman & Forrest is a year old! It's been a wild, incredible journey and we've learned so much. I'm remembering an executive we pitched early on who called us a "small business for shitty little companies." Anyway, we've paid technical content creators $1.7M. I'm proud of that. fnf.dev/one-year

I have somehow assembled one of the best teams I could possibly have. A couple things I’ve found work: I hire kind, low-ego humans. These are people who can learn, accept feedback, admit mistakes, and grow as a team. I strongly favor weird backgrounds.

Funniest quote of the day: “Courts operate in two areas: law and equity. Equity is vibes.” It’s been a weird morning.

The Democrats are a great example of what happens when you prioritize minimizing negative feedback vs. prioritizing visibility. Being visible is 80% of the battle. So what if some people don’t like you? Stop prioritizing people you’re never going to win over anyway.

I know this runs counter to a lot of advice but… Do not try to improve on the things you’re awful at. You’re probably always going to be bad at them. Instead focus on the things you’re good at. Rise to the absolute top at those things. The rest either doesn’t matter or can be outsourced.

I’m genuinely concerned about people who just watch the map on flights. Like… are we good or does this flight need to be an impromptu therapy session?
